Following a grand jury’s decision to not indict any of the officers involved in the Breonna Taylor killing by Louisville Police, protesters took to the streets of Kentucky’s largest city.
Also, two police officers were shot and wounded before the courthouse was set ablaze.
The Louisville Metro Police Department put out a state of emergency order days before the decision was announced publicly.
Breonna Taylor, an EMT worker, was fatally shot when four Louisville Metro Police entered her home during a no-knock raid on her home on March 13, 2020.

By popular demand, Jada Pinkett Smith is bringing herself to Red Table Talk after August Alsina claimed Will Smith sanctioned their affair.
“I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation, due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times, and it, you know, not involving romanticism,” he said, implying that the Smith’s have an open marriage during an interview with The Breakfast Club‘s Angela Ye.
“He gave me his blessing.” Alsina added, “I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really, deeply loved and have a ton of love for her.”
After her reps denied the allegations according to Page Six, she hopped on Twitter to assure fans that she’ll be setting the record straight on her popular Facebook Watch series. “There’s some healing that needs to happen…so I’m bringing myself to The Red Table,” she tweeted.
There’s some healing that needs to happen…so I’m bringing myself to The Red Table.
All other details in regard to the episode are under wraps. We don’t know if the actress’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, and daughter Willow Smith will be involved in this episode, or even if August was invited.
There have been rumors that August and Jada Pinkett Smith were romantically involved for years. The singer confirmed the rumors in his 2019 record, “Nunya” which sampled Kehlani. “You got me feeling like it was an act, you’re just an actress / Putting on a show ’cause you don’t want the world to know,” he sung.
There’s no premiere date for this said Red Table Talk episode but the popcorn is ready to be popped and we’re ready for Jada Pinkett Smith to spill the tea.

Bronx NY’s own Lil Tjay is celebrating his city with the release of his new project STATE OF EMERGENCY, out today via Columbia Records. The 7-track mixtape features collaborations with the new class of NYC rap including Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, Sheff G, Jay Critch, Sleepy Hallow, Jay Gwuapo and J.I. The Prince of New York.

The JLShotThat directed video for “Zoo York” is coming soon.
To celebrate the release, Lil Tjay has partnered with Twitch to launch The “STATE OF EMERGENCY” Experience tonight at 7pm EST. The fully immersive and one of a kind 3D listening experience will showcase NYC as Tjay moves through the city discussing and playing back the project. The event will offer a feature in which viewers will be able to donate to The Bronx Defenders. Tune in HERE.
Coinciding with his empire state themed mixtape, Lil Tjay will be donating to The Bronx Defenders, an organization that is innovating and pushing boundaries of what a public defender is and fighting on the front lines for justice every day. The cause hits close to home and is a big passion of Tjay’s, as they once helped fight the system in a case that he was involved in. He will personally be donating gift cards to help the formerly incarcerated clients and their families buy essentials, along with masks for the defenders as they continue their fight for the release of people at high risk for health complications if they contract COVID-19. Since the onset of the health crisis, The Bronx Defenders have been able to secure the release of over 100 clients who were being held in jails and ICE detention.
“Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, low-income black and brown communities like the Bronx have been hit the hardest. This is a community that depends heavily on public transportation, encompasses countless essential workers, and is over criminalized into a legal system that crams people into jail cells where the virus is rampant. We are working tirelessly on behalf of our clients to stem the worst of this pandemic, but we can’t do it alone. We’re so thankful to have allies like Lil Tjay giving back to their community so that our clients can access basic necessities like protective masks, groceries, and medicine in this time of crisis. We will get through this if we continue having each other’s backs.” – Justine Olderman, Executive Director of Bronx Defenders.
